I'm working on UFO's with the Pat Sloan group

I planned on finishing the quilting on the top and puting the binding on a Deja Brew Quilt this week..  

This was a fun project, once I completed the Front I could not resist doing a pieced back.

I have finished the quilting now and I plan to finish the binding this weekend. I will post once completed. This is one of those projects I started for myself and I kept putting it aside every time someone asked me to do something else for them, I am so happy to get this done.

James Dailey Graduation

May 14, 2010

James Walker Dailey

John T. Morgan Academy

A Mom has to brag sometime. We all had such a great time, now he is off to the Bahamas on his Senior Cruise.

Quilt Blocks are Coming along

Whew, I've had a really busy week and a half. My youngest son is Graduating on the 14th of this month so we are getting ready for this as well as preparing for college. He will be heading off to Auburn University in Auburn Alabama. Apartment hunting is going on and we are looking for a Graduation gift that is truly his...
I have started a new job at Cedar Hill at Vaughan Place, which is a beautiful facility. I had 4 days of orientation. It was a lot of fun, as the nurse, once medication and other nursing tasks are administered you participate in all types of fun activities. This week I am working only 2 days on 2nd shift to learn the routine.
I continued making quilt blocks in my spare time, I've made 60 in all. Here are the 4 corner blocks and a couple of the edging blocks. It's almost time to trim these up and put the quilt top together. I can't wait, this is going to be a beautiful quilt once it's completed.

And as much fun as these blocks were, last night before bed, I checked my etsy site http://quiltdailey.etsy.com/

to see if I had any sales, and yea!!!, I had one. I still get so excited when I have a sales.

Please check out my site and if you live in the area, this weekend May 8th, 2010, I will be participating at Valley Grande Founders Day with my Crafts. I am hoping for a beautiful day. It will be from 9:00am-3:00pm. Come join the fun.

Then....I got one more block completed, this is an online Spring Fling Block: this one was very quick and easy.

I hope everyone has a great day ahead and stop by occasionally to see what happens next.

A Dressmaker's Quilt

I am working on the quilt pattern called "A Dressmaker's Quilt."  This is such a fun quilt. I love working on a quilt that allows for simple piecing, this one combines reproduction fabic of the 1800's that would have been used for men's shirting. In those days you would of course use leftover fabric and shirts that were no longer used.

I am working to make 4 sections then I will put these together and add log cabin blocks around the edges. This will be a simple quilt with great charm. I should be posting updates every few days until I get this one pieced.

2010 Black and White in Paris Challenge

I had sooo Much fun over the last few weeks, I participated in the 2010 Black and White in Paris Challenge. Since I've never been to Paris, I thought of Wine and Vineyards. I used my embroidery machine to make a view of a wine vineyard, then I added Wine in glasses around the sides. I'm sure the compitition will be tough. When I put my quilt together it was all about fun and creativity. I made this one for ME!

Can you just taste the wine?
